.SH NAME
glimmer \- runs various programs of the TIGR Glimmer suite
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B glimmer
.B program
[arguments]
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B glimmer
wrapper to the TIGR Glimmer programs.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
because upstream does not provide this wrapper and it was invented
for Debian to avoid conflicts with other packages that might cause
a name space polution.
.PP
\fBglimmer\fP is just a wrapper that invokes the various programs in the
TIGR Glimmer software package. You can get more detailed documentation

is a part of the former version Glimmer 2.  The version Glimmer 3 has
some features that were described in the notes.pdf document inside
the documentation directory.
.PP
The following programs are included: anomaly, build-fixed, build-icm,
entropy-profile, entropy-score, extract, glimmer3, long-orfs, multi-extract,
score-fixed, start-codon-distrib, test, uncovered and window-acgt.
